The program also strongly implies that the grad student in question (who was removed from her teaching position after the incident) is affiliated with the activist group (or 'brand' for lack of a better term) called Betsy Riot. It looks like a liberal antifascist and anti-gun group which describes its members as "feminist patriots" and "punk patriots" (so maybe emphasis on the liberal). https://betsyriot.com/— Permalink]]>Co-opting the counter culture: Troy Southgate and the National Revolutionary Faction [PDF]http://wikileaks.mretc.net/shaarli/?hf9Hpw2018-05-09T17:27:36-06:002018-05-09T17:27:36-06:00

"On January 17, 2018, the French government announced on television, via the voice of Prime Minister Edouard Philippe, that it had given up on pursuing the highly controversial project of building a new airport at Notre-Dame-des-Landes (NDDL). This decision capped five decades of political, economic, legal, environmental, and personal struggle. The airport was to be located approximately 30 kilometers north of the city of Nantes in western France; instead, the site became la ZAD—the Zone a Défendre (Zone To Defend). What began as a small protest camp grew into a world-famous space of autonomous experimentation that lasted almost nine years."

"Published by Attack International, the story features a number of characters based on those from the original series by Hergé, notably Tintin himself and Captain Haddock; but not the original themes or plot.

"Attracting the wrath of the tabloid press when it was published, the story tracks Tintin's development from a disaffected, shoplifting youth to a revolutionary leader."

"The desire to revamp the image of the pre-Trump Republican party and the United States in general – a concept Ali Abunimah coined “Trumpwashing” - is a favorite rhetorical tic of Russia-obsessed democrats and centrist extremists who’s primary charge is treating the phenomenon of Donald Trump as anomalous from American history, rather than its most pure, and even logical, manifestation."

Scofield's description does certainly paint Massaro as a typical narcissist guru. Why does there always seem to be a few thousand people in Boulder and Sedona who feel a need to be financially fleeced and abusively told what to believe by an unrepentant liar? (I guess if the 2016 election is an indication, it's not a phenomenon limited to New Age hotspots.)
